'I cry a lot when alone' reveals Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks plays the troubled captain in Captain Phillips.

Versatile actor Tom Hanks has revealed himself to be an extremely emotional person, who sometimes feels that he weeps too much.

During an interview with Entertainment Enquirer, the 57-year-old actor, who was recently diagnosed with diabetes, confessed that he gets affected by certain incidents, even though he may be able to put on a brave front in front of the public.

Talking about his emotional state during the preparation of his role as Captain Richard Phillips, Hanks said that he is a snappy guy who weeps over human connections that are somehow reflective of this tenuous place we all have in this world.

Hanks also revealed that his emotions get the best of him when he's alone, saying that when he is alone, and something gets him, he can really be gone.
